    Water in axles

    2019 Arctic Wolf 245rk4 fifth wheel. After pulling I always noticed rust over the back levelers. I would wash it off and it would come back. Used the air hose and blew out as much water as possible utilizing the holes for the brake wires. The reason I came up with was being stored with the holes...

    Tightening frame and axle nuts

    Any recommended maintence intervals for tightening frame, stairs and axle nuts? Ive not seen anything on this and maybe I'm missing it. Theres definitely no torque specs out there, maybe from Lippert for the axles?

    Mfg axle decal defined

    I'm curious as to the engineering logic on my new 5th wheel. I have tandem Dexter axles with each axle's data decal stating a capacity of 5K pounds. My assumption is that this number applies to the axle assembly consisting of the two hubs and adjoining cross member (axle). The trailer's weight...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System for Single Axle Trailer

    I'm looking to get a TPMS and was wondering if any A-Framers out there are using one? I read that the TST 507 is a highly recommended product but I can't find one with only 2 transmitters. Also the price of $500 CAD is a lot of money for a single axle system. Anyone else using a TPMS?

    Lipperts axles

    I just helped a friend repack wheel bearings on his Puma. Before we started on the adventure, I called Lippert and they said that they recommend taking hubs off and repacking bearings and not to use grease zerks to grease hubs. Once we got into it we found that spindles have a port to the...

    axle stress

    Thinking about getting one of those "trailer aid" things or making something similar out of some 2x10's . Question is , isn't that a lot of stress on the "lifting tire" wouldn't it be too much ? I mean a TT is not like a car trailer where there's not that much weight on it. I'd like to pull off...

    Axle off center

    We just noticed on our last trip that our axle is off centered. Has any one else ever had this issue? I guess I have to call the dealer... That I really don't like to deal with.

    Explain my axle to me

    I have a Lippert tandem axle trailer. Forgive my complete ignorance on how to describe it, but the wheels have “movement” That is, they can pivot from side to side and aren’t fixed on the front to back plane. But if I’m making a tight radius turn they will “pop”. A lot. Is that normal? I...

    bought a custom built trailer - what is the GVWR with 2" single axle

    I bought a custom build 4-place jetski trailer, with 4 older jetskis - it was originally a single axle boat trailer modified to load 4 jetskis. I did some searching and found that the 4 skis weight about 2300 lbs combined (dry weight), so with gas, oil and misc I guess the skis are about 2600...

    Dexter Axle Nut

    I am new to the forum, perhaps this has already been discussed, but on my 2018 Vibe 315BHK, I repacked my wheel bearings and replaced the grease seals as recommended. When I pulled the cap off the drum, I was surprised to find there was not a castle nut and cotter pin, rather an 1 1/2" nut with...

    What kind of axles do I have?

    After reading the thread on packing bearings, I saw a lot of discussion on various axles. This got me wondering what type of axles my Catalina had. So after crawling underneath, the only marking I could find is this tag. I googled the numbers but can't get any results. Does anybody have some...

    Axle / tire wear

    Is anyone else had problems with tire wear on their single axle 17b? About five months after I took delivery of my 2017 17b I noticed that the tires were wearing on the inside.
